Whether served hot or cold, this salad is full of colour and of taste.You can make all of the different components at different times and simply mix together when you are ready to eat.

Ingredients

METHOD

170g quinoa 2-3 medium-sized carrots, in 1cm cubes 4 tbsp sunflower oil 1 sprig thyme ¾ tsp ground cinnamon 1 red pepper, in 1cm cubes 1 yellow pepper, in 1cm cubes Himalayan pink salt Ground black pepper 1 tbsp agave syrup 1 tbsp tamari 50g pumpkin seeds 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 1 red onion, finely chopped 1 leek, finely chopped 30g chervil, chopped 30g coriander (cilantro) Chopped, finely grated zest of 1 lemon 1 pomegranate

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas mark 4 and you’ll need three baking trays (lined with baking sheets).

For the dressing: 3 tbsp sweet miso 2 tbsp tahini (sesame seed paste) 1 tbsp sesame oil 4 tbsp water

2. Cook the quinoa according to the packet instructions but overcook slightly, so it’s fluffy; this should take about 20 minutes. Drain off the remaining water and set aside.

3. In one baking tray (lined with baking sheet), toss the carrots in 1 tablespoon of oil, pop in a sprig of fresh thyme and sprinkle over ½ teaspoon of cinnamon.Roast in a preheated oven for 25 minutes.

4. In a separate baking tray (lined with baking sheet), toss the pepper pieces with 1 tablespoon of sunflower oil along with some pink salt and black pepper. After 15 minutes of the carrots being in the oven, put the peppers in for the final 10 minutes.

5. Next, mix together the agave syrup, sunflower oil and tamari and coat the pumpkin seeds and toast in the third tray for the final 5 minutes in the oven.

6. Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of sunflower oil in a frying pan on a low heat and add the garlic and onions. As the oil starts to be absorbed, add a splash of water (about 1 tablespoon) to cool down the pan and then add the leeks. Sauté for 2 minutes until the onions become translucent and soft. Remove from the heat.

7. Take all the baking trays (lined with baking sheets) out of the oven; they should have all had their cooking time by now. Mix all the vegetables (both the baking trays (lined with baking sheets) and the frying pan but not the toasted seeds) with the fresh herbs and add ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon and the lemon zest. Stir this mixture into the quinoa and set aside. Bang the seeds out of the pomegranate and set aside (there will be a little juice left in the bottom, don’t throw it away – drink it, it’s so good for you!).

8. Add half the pomegranate seeds to the salad and mix in. Serve garnished with the toasted pumpkin seeds and the remaining pomegranate seeds.

9. Finally, whisk all the dressing ingredients together and then drizzle over the top.

Cheesy Red Lentil Burgers With A Portobello Bun DF GF V+

V

WF

These buns really make it feel like a hearty burger but will leave you feeling so much lighter and healthier than bread. Perfect for the summer barbecues, and great for a filling meal that everyone will enjoy. This recipe serves 6!

Ingredients

METHOD

You’ll need: 2 large sweet potatoes Peeled and chopped into thumb sized pieces 150g red split lentils 1x400g tin kidney beans 3 cups of gluten free oats 2 tsp vegetable bouillon powder (or two vegetable stock cubes) ½ cup nutritional yeast Salt and Pepper to taste 12 portobello mushrooms 6 tbsps Hummus Baby Lettuce Leaves Olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius.

For the polenta: 400ml unsweetened plantbased milk 1 garlic clove, crushed 175g gluten-free polenta 1 tbsp olive oil

2. Start by putting the lentils and sweet potato in a pan. Cover with double the volume of water and stir in the stock bouillon powder or cube to dissolve.

Bring to the boil and cook for around 25 minutes - until the sweet potatoes are soft and the lentils still have a little bit of bite. Leave them to drain so you loose as much water as possible.

3. Wash and peel and de-stem the mushrooms and place on a roasting tray with some olive oil and put in the oven to roast for 25 minutes.

4. Mash the red kidney beans in a big mixing bowl. Add the lentils and sweet potato and mash again until it’s all combined but still a little chunky! Season well. Now stir in the gluten-free oats until you have a mixture you can shape in your hands - if you’ve over mashed you may need to add more.

5. Shape 6 patties out from the mixture. In a frying pan add a little olive or coconut oil and cook three at a time for 3 minutes on each side - repeat with the rest. Put them on a roasting tray in the oven and continue to cook until everything else is ready.

6. Before you serve, add a dollop of hummus on 6 of the portobello mushrooms (on the inside) and put back in the oven for 3 minutes to melt.

Then, you’re good to go, assemble your burger with some lettuce leaves, avocado or plum tomatoes & enjoy!

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.

Ingredients

METHOD

1 medium white or green cabbage (about 1500g), 1½ tbsp fine sea salt, 1 tbsp caraway seeds (optional), 4 medium jars

1. Peel 4 good leaves and set aside. Cut cabbage into 8 wedges, remove the core, and thinly slice crosswise.

2. Put the cabbage in a large mixing bowl and add the salt. Mix and massage the salt into the cabbage for 5 minutes until it softens and releases water. Then, pound with the end of a wooden rolling pin for another 5 minutes. Add caraway seeds, if using, and mix well.

3. Pack the cabbage into the jars, leaving some room at the top and pour in any liquid. Cut the reserved leaf into circles the width of the jars and put over the surface to keep the cabbage submerged. Do not put the lid on because of the pressure from the fermentation.

4. Press the cabbage down every day. If after 24 hours the liquid has not risen above the level of the cabbage, dissolve 1 tsp fine sea salt in 8fl oz of water and add enough to cover.

5. The sauerkraut will be ready to eat after about a week, but will continue to ferment and develop for up to 2 weeks. If mold develops, skim it off and ensure the cabbage is submerged. Keep tasting it and when you like the taste, put the lid on and refrigerate.
